Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Place spinach in a strainer and set aside to drain well. Prepare pasta according to directions.

While pasta cooks, place oil in bottom of a 7x11 inch baking dish (with cover). Add onion in a single layer and bake, uncovered, about 15 minutes or just until tender. Transfer onions to a large bowl and set baking dish aside.

Press spinach between 2 paper towels to remove any remaining liquid. Stir pasta, spinach, chicken, tomatoes, cream cheese, salt and pepper into onion in bowl. Spoon into baking dish and top with cheese.

Bake, covered, for 30 minutes; uncover and bake 15 more minutes or until bubbly.

Serve this yummy entree with a side salad and some crusty French bread and you have an elegant meal that would be just as great for serving to company as it is for serving to your family. This is a delicious meal from theAlabama Hometown Cookbook that you will want to add to your weekly meal plan.
